April 2, 2012

At the end of each day I write down at least one GOOD thing that happened, then I share them all here monthly. *** 1 – An easy work day 2 – A favorite patient finishing chemo & giving me a gift card; our A/C getting fixed for only $80 3 – Walking the Stride for Stroke 5k with work friends; Pappasito’s for dinner and seeing Meredith eat lemons 4 – Dinner with my parents at 59 Diner 5 – The adorable artwork Meredith made at daycare, and how she went to bed so easily before 7 6 – Meredith’s reaction when she saw me at daycare and when David came home, and how she laughed at the dogs 7 – Playing on the…

Photo A Day: March

April 1, 2012

I still love this photo a day challenge created by Fat Mum Slim. up • bedside • fruit • my neighborhood • a smile 5 p.m. • something I wore • window • red • loud • someone I talked to today fork • a sign • clouds • car • sunglasses • green a corner of my home • before/after • delicious • kitchen sink • moon • animal breakfast • key • my name • feet • toy • where I relax I missed two days this month. One was “funny” because I had a really bad day that day and I wasn’t feeling inspired to find funny anywhere. Another was “trash” because I was super busy that day and didn’t want to just take a picture of a gross or boring trash can. Oh well. I think it’ll be fun to look back and…

The weather has been so nice lately that we’ve taken to sitting out on the front lawn to relax. Meredith loves to play with (and eat) the leaves and grass and I love watching her. We’ve also already met several more neighbors this way! Time // 9:16 a.m. Place // at home in my office/craft room. Eating // nada. Drinking // water. Watching // Meredith turn the baby gym upside down. Reading // The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage by Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Wanting // a new printer and an updated copy of Photoshop Elements. Thinking // about what a bummer it is that Meredith’s pediatrician is closing her practice. Creating // some Easter cards. Hoping // to purchase a starter kit of essential oils and begin using them for health…

Some Goals, Sort Of

March 22, 2012

Recently, in my coffee-less state (this is important because everything seems worse without coffee), I have started to feel a growing discontent with some areas of my life. Not major things, but little things. I’ve kind of hit a plateau in a lot of areas and it’s bringing me down. I don’t have a lot of extra time or money, and I’m really good about cutting myself some slack because of it, but I’m at the point where I think some productivity and changes could really benefit me mentally. Here’s what I’m thinking about: Home Here is our home. We’ve lived here about three years, and I love it. But we never finished furnishing it, and there are a couple…
